Suffering from no energy, hot flashes, muscle soreness and joint pain. Have thyroid and on Premarin. Suggest?

51 have a complete 10 months ago. Suffering from no energy, hot flashes all the time, muscle soreness and joint pain. I exercise 5 days a week. Eat healthy! Just started on a low dose of Premarin against my better judgement. I have been on thyroid since teenager. General Dr said my TSH read and meds dosage was good. Need Help!

Now, do not worry for what you are currently experiencing as it is perfectly normal.

- Usually, I recommend my patients to use chamomile tea (or valeriana) at bedtime for better sleeping and to be relaxed.

- It is good that you are eating healthy.

- However, I recommend menopause supplements to my patients, mixture of herbs, vitamins and minerals to alleviate the symptoms and supply with nutrients (especially vitamin D and calcium) mostly needed by women of this age.

Brief Answer:Please refer to the answer below

Detailed Answer:Hi,

As I mentioned in the earlier answer, supplements for women in menopause contain the vitamins and minerals and mixture of herbs to alleviate your hot flashes and supply with nutrients you mostly need at your age.

So, they also contain vitamin D and Calcium for the health of your joints and bones together with magnesium and other minerals for "soothing" the muscle soreness.

I also prescribe glucosamin and chondroitin supplements to women at your age for better joints support. They can be taken orally or applied locally in the form of gel after warming up.

In addition, when you exercise, first go for some "warm-up" exercises and then, might enter the high-intensity exercise to avoid muscle soreness.

For example, I would suggest walking for at least the first 10 minutes, then, jogging for another 5 minutes.

Next, osteoarthritis is another culprit for such joints and muscle soreness. It is true that will passing of years, people get more chances to get osteoarthritis problems such joints and muscle soreness.
